Office 2003 error in limited accounts...stdole32.tlb randolindso 12/23/2008 12:40:03 PM I'm running Windows XP Home with one Admin account and two Limited accounts. I've had Office 2003 Professional installed for years with no problems. I decided to install all the updates through Microsoft update...did so, and now it throws an error when trying to run any Office progs in the limited accounts. Each time I run them it trys to run an installer. One time only it gave an error for stdole32.tlb. The Office progs run fine when the user is changed to Admin. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I've tried temporarily changing the accounts to Admin before installing. I've tried running the Office progs once under Admin and then changing back to Limited. I'm pretty sure it's a permissions problem, possibly involving stdole32.tlb....Any ideas?

Re: Office 2003 error in limited accounts...stdole32.tlb randolindso 12/23/2008 10:53:00 PM Thanks for your reply, but it did not make any difference. Office still will not run correctly under the limited accounts. I've read some about changing permissions in certain registry keys. Any thoughts on that? And which keys? Also, any ideas concerning the ole file?

Re: Office 2003 error in limited accounts...stdole32.tlb randolindso 12/24/2008 12:52:05 AM Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, it did not work. I also tried KB265194 method 2...no luck with it either. Any other ideas?

Re: Office 2003 error in limited accounts...stdole32.tlb randolindso 12/24/2008 2:06:05 PM I read your last response- you asked if office progs worked in elevated mode- for some reason now your thread is missing - but my reply is "how do I run a program, for instance Word, in elevated mode?" It's not the same as "RunAs, is it?

Re: Office 2003 error in limited accounts...stdole32.tlb randolindso 12/24/2008 3:41:01 PM For some reason my replies aren't getting through but I did receive your response about elevating the programs in the limited accounts. I guess I'm not sure what you mean by elevating? Is it the same as RunAs? I've tried to do RunAs but there is no option in right-click and in the advanced properties for each shortcut the Run with Different Credentials is grayed out.
